odd Antics of Birds.

\ relative Of mine had large marsh
upon his estate, and here thc great
cranes made their Summer home,
building their curious nests there
and rearing their young. says Prof.
Holder in the san Francisco CdH The
marsh was surrounded BIZ high grass,
and it was his practice 10 creep through
and watch the birds Wobservcd. The
antics they went through It would be
impossible TO descrihe-now they would
caper along in pairs, stepping daintily
with the winning Gait Of the ideal eX-
quisite, lifting their feathers or wings,
taking short steps, and gradually
working themselves up to bird
frenzy of excitement, when they would
leap into the air and over each others
backs, taking short runs this way and
that, all for the ediication Of the fe-
males standing by, and finally, after a
series Of these exhibitions, the differ
ent birds selected their mates Among
the birds of the western hemisphere the
cock Of the rock ranks next to the
crane in the strangeness of its evolu-
tions. The bird is confined to South
America, and is about the size of a
small pigeon; has Il bright orange web in
iLe iaaiu, with 1t piWme-likc arrange
ment upon the head. 1t +, proud
bird principally building its nest in
rocky places not fregucntcd by man.
At the commencement of the breeding
season a party of birds. numbering
from ten to twenty, assemble, and Sc
Letting clear space among the rocks
form a ring or circle, facing inward.
Now a small bird takes its place in the
center and begins to hop about, toss its
head, lift its wings, and 20 through all
the strange movements possible that
appear to be watched with great in
terest by the rest. When the per-
former is thoroughly exhausted Inc re-
tires TO the circle and another bird en-
tiers the ring, and so ON. until all have
been put through their PAGES, when
the pairs probably make their selection.
Often the birds are SO exhausted after
the dances that they can hardly fly, ly-
ing painting on the rocks.
Near the borders of southern Cali
foruia is found a bird, called the
-uuate, that has a strange comtship.

Acify ofl 900 people sprang up in this
wilderness and near by two Others with
ten thousand more. Copper pure, some
d Il % pure that " cost heavily TO mine
Il, was discovered. The diegcrs went
thousands Of feet here and there under
the surface Of the earth They set up
the largest milling machinery in the
world They put up fly wheel big
enough to revoIve inan orbit that would
be bounded by the caves and the base
ment OF the City Hall. Their stamping
mill couldn't preserve all the copper, and
the waters 81 the Portage River and
Lake Linden turned to a coppery color,
because copper dust, SO fine thatit would
tloat, rested upon the suriace. They
built railways and cut canal across the
peninsula, SO that the Duluth steamers
saved more than a hundred miles by
passing through it, and their stock IL
worth far more than it's weight in pure
gold, and their dividends sometimes In u
year were greater than the face Of their
stock.
Only two or three mines in America
have poured forth such wealth. They
made, too, a queer discovery. Digging
lar below the soil that centuries have
accumulated, they came upon mans
workmanship Of ages ago. They dis
covered the evidence Of lost art, but
not the secret OF it. They found that
sometime in the long ago men knew OF
this copper, aud had mined it, and min
ed IL too with copper implements that
had been tempered To the hardness Of
steel. That is an art that cannot he
matched to-day, and when the secret Of
doing II was known II islikely that Moses
had not yet been discovered in The bull
PUSHES
Silver is always found near copper,
aud silver is found there, and the wise
men declare that any day il may be
found in bonanza quantities. Deep down
under Lake Superior doubtless these
copper and silver veins extend.
